RAM: A Safe Haven in a Sea of Change

Change is the only constant for the 21st Century physician. You are subject to greater scrutiny, quality and outcome metrics, older and sicker patients, and online reviews. Buzzwords like "value-based purchasing” often have replaced the physician’s voice in healthcare discussions.

That’s where the Academy comes in. There’s no other place for doctors in the Richmond metropolitan area to come together to engage in honest, constructive, and unbiased discussions of the critical issues facing today’s MDs.

Whether you’re a community-based physician or academically-based, a private practitioner or specialist, hospital-based or office-based, we invite you to come together as a profession to discuss concerns, share insights, and propose strategies for improvement.

RAM is owned and managed by physicians for physicians, and we offer a variety of informational updates (with weekly e-mails on medicine and politics), a quarterly print publication, electronic Member Updates introducing the latest physicians to join the Academy, and regular general meetings with national speakers on the latest issues of interest.

We also have regular Member Socials and family picnics. Having fun is also part of our mission, giving physicians and their spouses a chance to meet and enjoy each other’s company!
